Terrific that you are so excited. I went through that about two months ago, after a long time of looking. I have been at this for 19 years and every job is terrific! It is so nice NOT to hear of somebody striking or filing a lawsuit, too!
Congratulations on you new position with KS - rainy evening

I think you will like KS, I do. I am on 1 of their toughest accounts, but after about 6 months part time, I feel really comfortable with the specs for my account and feel better about the ESL doctors that I thought would be my downfall in the beginning....So, if you get assigned to the "tough" account, hang in there and be patient with yourself. It does get better. :-)

I used to work at KS. Is the "tough" job at Corpus Christi? I was on a very difficult, heavy ESL account and was wondering if this is the one you are talking about. My TL at that time was Melissa. I don't want to say her full name here. Anyway good luck on that account. I finally got used to it too, but that was definitely one of the worst accounts I have ever worked on.

Congratulations! I worked for Keystrokes for about a year, then left for a different company which was a HUGE mistake. I wish I was back at Keystrokes! Lucky you!

and I don't know why people on this board bash them so much. I was in Ortho, and I loved the flexibility, the fact that it was in Word, no VR, and the pay was above average. I had the misfortune of having a really bad supervisor, but I would still go back to work there. Good luck!!
I'm new to Keystrokes and just found out I barely didn't pass my very first audit to get off 100% QA. Does anybody know how long they give you to get this 98% passing score before they fire you? ...
I have given notice but including today have 2 checks coming. To my surprise, the deposit is not in my account today.
Has anyone else not gotten their DD from Keystrokes? ...
I was wondering if anybody knew who I'd contact about trying to add secondary accounts to work on. I've sent a couple of emails out but I'm not sure I sent them to the right people. ...
Read the job opening for Keystrokes and also talked with the recruiter. Can anybody here who works(ed) for and Keystrokes give real, hands-on experience for working for them? I've had many instances where how it really is isn't how the recruiter said it would be and don't want to get burned again. I'd really like to know the good and bad about the company upfront before I decide whether or not to accept the job.
Please don't ...
Does anyone know if Keystrokes uses VR? I am working with VR at the currently company I am working for and I don't like it. I'm considering applying with Keystrokes. ...
Seems some companies just do not learn after being sued for unpaid overtime. Here is another one filed on June 2, 2011 - Whitaker v Keystrokes Transcription - here is the link http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/illinois/ilndce/1:2011cv03734/256349/1/

and QA dings me for one. Unbelievable. That's what it averages for 1400 lines a day full-time. Even with 3 cups of coffee and an office chair seat belt, it's no easy feat. Ninety-thousand keystrokes PER DAY. That's not including the ADT, the Internet look-ups, etc. Throw me a bone here, QA.
How many keystrokes to you do, PERFECTLY?? ...
Just wondering about OSI and Keystrokes. I recently have applied to both of these and looks like I could be hired by either one (have already done the testing). Could anyway tell me how they are to work for. Do they do voice recognition? And anyone know their pay rates? ...
Noticed they posted a job for the night shift. For those who have worked this shift or are working this shift for Keystrokes, is there enough work. Seems never to be enough work and that would be murder staying away for no work. :-/ ...
Was told by recruiter the account was about 50/50? Think this would be a typical assumption of their accounts? (Have been told this before and it was way highter...like in the 90/10 range). Thanks in advance. ...
Yes, I know there are negatives regarding just about every MT company, but I am just about to start with Keystrokes and I'm trying to stay positive and be excited about it, so I would love to hear the good stuff about working for the company and what I can look forward to as I get started. Thanks guys!! ...
How is it? The trainer says it is one of the easiest platforms to learn on if you've never done it. Said the threshold is set high at like 85% (not sure what that means) and it proves to be very lucrative for some. Anyone have any experience with it they could share? Not only am I new to Keystrokes, totally new to VR as well.
Thanks in advance! ...
applied and was hoping for some info on them. The ad says they pay by the hour which I am psyched about! Does anyone know how much or how they work this? Thanks! ...
A few years back, I was cut in pay at Keystrokes. Do you know if they are going to eventually give us a raise or that money back? They seem to be hiring more and more and some of the pay that is offered is more than I currently am getting. I wanted to advance in pay, not go down in pay! ...
I put in an application at Keystrokes and was sent a test to take. I cant remember if they are VR or straight typing and also if they are compatible with windows 8. I looked through the archives, but I don't see a lot on this company. Any help would be appreciated. ...
So rumor has it that an original KS employee has decided to leave the nest and venture out with another company. WOW...I thought she was a fixture there. I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, huh. Wonder if it was her idea, or theirs (which is more likely the reason). Oh well, let's see who's next???? Perhaps that wonderful Coordinator that everyone loves and fears...you know, the frustrated teacher wannabe!!!! ...
Does anyone know anything about Keystrokes Transcription? I have been burned by a company that posted a job on this site, so I try to check things out now before jumping..... ...
I'm a bit confused with Keystrokes. The ad they have placed here indicates wanting 40 people for new accounts, etc. However, I just received an email about job openings for only 2 very heavy ESL 1-9 shifts. I don't understand why they would have this ad and yet only be sending info about only the 2 jobs. I'm in their DATABASE and am sent these emails according to what opens up. I have not received anything about these supposed 40 j ...
